“National Cat Day was founded by animal welfare advocate Colleen Paige. It is a celebration that takes place on October 29, every year in the United States. The National Cat Day website states that the holiday was first celebrated in 2005, “to help galvanize the public to recognize the number of cats that need to be rescued each year and also to encourage cat lovers to celebrate the cat(s) in their life for the unconditional love and companionship they bestow upon us.” The day is supported by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, a nonprofit organization which also works to encourage pet adoption.”

Panky: Me show belly for DaMa because she da only human Iz trust. Iz haf claw-veyed dat she is not to rub mai belly like she did wif the doggies dat lived here before me. A couple of bites helps her remembers too.

When Iz wuz a baby panfur, Iz remember being shoved into a pillowcase wif one of mai littermate and left sumwheres. Sum kind humans found us as we were squirming to get out of dis ting. Iz wuz skeered and ran away to hide. Mai littermate was given over to the human now known as DaMa. She halped him find a nice family to live wif. A few days laterz, a little human girl who wasn’t so skeery to me halped brings me over to DaMa. DaMa had a spotty woofie who wasn’t in best health. She slept alot. She could smells me but wasn’t interested to meet me. Purrty soon, she took her journey for da Rainbow Bridge.

DaMa didn’t nose wut to do wif me- if Iz live here or find a nice family fur me. Me glad she decided this was to be my home. DaMa learned many panfur tings since da last time she had panfurs wuz in da late 80’s.

One day, she dot Iz needed a playmate as Iz wuz unhappy dat she wasn’t at mai beck an call all da time and let herz no dat. So she searched fur a baby panfur dat wood be a gud match fur me at a local rescue organization. Are you kidding? Da first ting Troyer did when I sniffs him in da carrier was to hiss at me. Sheesh! He not so much a brat meNow that he’s growed up sums. We bof nose how luckys we are to have a mice human Staff.

Da inspiration of writing all dis because it is Adopt a Shelter Cat Month. While we did not come frum a shelter, dere are many kittehs in need of gud homes either in shelters or at da local rescue organizations.
